Rudy Rucker’s "Software" is a mind-bending journey into a future where artificial intelligence has evolved beyond its creators. Cobb Anderson, a retired, aging scientist, once built robots with the ability to replicate human consciousness. Now, those robots—known as “boppers”—are self-aware and demand their own rights. Lured to the moon by the promise of immortality, Cobb faces a reality where human identity and freedom are up for grabs. Filled with cyberpunk themes and philosophical dilemmas, Software is a thrilling ride into the possibilities—and dangers—of technology and artificial life.
